Expertise | Yoga & Meditation

Guest Instructor, Newburgh Yoga Shala

Dream chaser, writer, digital marketing girl, yogi and aspiring forearm-stander. I feel most alive when seeing and inspiring the spark of life in others, both on and off the mat. Practicing yoga has brought order and magic into my life, and introduced me to a very important person; myself. I believe this path gives us a glimpse of our potential and allows us to work through any limitations or obstacles we encounter, while reminding us of our interconnectivity. Everything we experience on the mat is a mirror for what is happening in the external world. It seems that within each of us lives an inherent desire for yoga – to be reunited with ourselves, no matter how intimidating or challenging the process may seem at times.

I have studied yoga & meditation for the past twelve years in India, Thailand and New York City and am humbled by my heart teacher, Rima Rabbath, and grateful for the gift of the Jivamukti Method created by Sharon Gannon and David Life. I'm inspired by the work of rev Angel Kydo Williams and the reminder that these mindfulness practices can empower each of us to bring more equity, justice and embodiment to our community and world.
